How do I stream music from iTunes to my iPhone?
This is by no means a new tip. Many iPhone owners have been using this little “hack” to
stream movies and music from iTunes. However, I thought it would be helpful if I were to
repackage the instructions so that they are easier to follow. Iʼve also added a few tips of
my own.
Recently, Iʼve been looking for a way to stream the movies and music in iTunes library to
my iPhone. It canʼt be that hard, I thought. Turns out, it isnʼt. A simple hack discovered by
Embraceware (the folks who brought you Awaken) turns your Mac into a server that is
easily connectable from your iPhone (or iPod Touch or any other device for that matter).
Yes, I realize that there are some applications that are
able to stream music and/or video to the iPhone.
Simplify Media is a great app for instance, to stream
music over the internet but personally, my music library
is too large and I find that the Simplify Media server
canʼt take the load. Iʼm not totally sure if it can stream
video too, by the way. Remote Buddy is an option if
you want to stream video to your iPhone but itʼs not
free. Heck, it isnʼt even cheap at 20 ($25). Audiolizer
is another service that lets you listen to iTunes library
over the internet, but it requires you to upload the
songs to its server.
Allow me to explain what this hack is all about. It enables a function on your Mac to turn it
into a personal web server. You can then share anything you want on the local area
network (LAN) - movies, music, files. It can also be accessible outside your LAN over the
internet (be careful about this). It doesnʼt have a gorgeous, graphical interface; it merely
presents a list of your files.
What can this hack do? It can stream your iTunes library to iPhone. It can also stream
your Movies in iTunes which are properly encoded (not the .mov reference movies) in h.
264. They donʼt even need to be formatted for the iPhone. It can also allow access to any
folder on your Mac, serving you with documents or pictures you left at home.
OK, letʼs get started. Iʼm writing this tutorial based on Leopard. Navigation in Tiger and
previous OSes may be slightly different.
